I did not notice before but your xmltv file is the same as the example given by Luna.

Setting up xmltv was a big learning curve for me. I use a xmltv grabber from http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/.

I think most around here use mc2xml from http://www.mc2xml.hosterbox.net/.

Sorry to say but I am not sure if either supports German TV.

It is not in the scope of this thread to deal with questions about xmltv but either of those sites should get you going I think. I do not want to turn luna's support thread into a xmltv discussion but you can find the information you need with Google I am sure and will likely find a good German xmltv grabber as well. Wish I could help more. One thing for sure, your black screen issue will continue until you have xmltv properly setup.

Does your PVR in xbmc not have an EPG program guide?

Personally, as I STUGGLED to get Livetv working, it came down to my xml. I was using mc2xml and regardless of how correct things seemed to be, black screen! I was also using nextpvr which some have also had problems with. Anyways, since I switched to Mediaportal (and serverwmc also worked), then switched from mc2xml to zap2xml, PROBLEMS SOLVED!
